EDIT: Sorry, the getnvidia-0.9.9 was wrong in the permission of /root/Startup/nvidia.
Check the permission of /root/Startup/nvidia and add executable bits if it isn't, by 'chmod +x /root/Startup/nvidia'. Fixed in the getnvidia-0.9.9.1.

I am running Puppy Slacko 5.5 and mt video card is the Nvidia 7300 LE.
I tried both driver PETS that are associated with an Nvidia driver for it and neither worked.
I can live with using the nuveau driver, but thought I would pass my problem along.

I got slacko 5.7.0
nvidia geforce mx 440 videocard and that driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.23-pkg1.run
used propper kernel and devx
use getnvidia 1.0
and allways wind up with this proble, some files missing

If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions
on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
